Summary

Make sure your deck is safe for family and friends with Deck Codes and Standards. Bruce Barker, a leading authority on building codes, has turned his eye toward one of the most popular DIY building projects. In Deck Codes & Standards, Barker isolates the aspects of deck building that are the most frequent sources of trouble and shows - with photos, illustrations, and commentary - exactly how to do it correctly. Barker's new book is not only for DIYers who are building a brand new deck, but as deck building codes have changed significantly in the past five years, this is also applicable for renovating older decks
